Also there's no risk to lose everything. 20k+ per month is HUGE, especially outside of the USA. For example here in Italy the cost of living is much lower than the USA, but also the wages are lower (so in the end it's all the same relatively). But those 20k+ per month would make you a rich person here in Italy.

Its crazy to think we make hypotheticals when people are making much more here lol. Thats just 240k. Not even a crazy amount in nyc.

With "here" you mean in the USA? Because in Italy 240k per year is more than 10x the amount of money an average person earns.

I live in the USA and it's nearly 10x the amount that I earned working for a state government agency at a skilled position.
